Not only were they able to do that, but they are handling my charcuterie and vegetable trays! I had some yummy peach black tea and a scrumptious piece of chocolate cake while I perused all the loose leaf teas available. Their selection is amazing! They were so helpful, kind, knowledgeable and affordable-- I'll definitely be going back! ☆☆☆☆☆”

“Saturday was our Anniversary, we had such a wonderful meal with outstanding service. We will definately be back. 😊❤️”

“The food was really good!! Our server Tracy cracked me up!! She was not only a great waitress she was so personable and funny and on it with her quick service of drink refills. I would definitely come back and request her! She recommended the wings with the dry rub and they were sooo delicious!! Nachos were good too!!”

“A very cozy place with an ordering counter and a sit-down dining room if you're sticking around. Despite the counter service, the staff was lovely, welcoming, and attentive. They brought fresh bread to the table, unfortunately with a small to-go cup with a small drizzle of olive oil and another of pre-grated parm. A slightly more generous cup of olive oil would have been nice. The carbonara pasta would have been good off the bat if they had properly seasoned it, but some of the extra parm and a generous dose of black pepper got it there in the end. The pizza was the star of the night. Chewy dough with really good gluten development, very nice sauce that was balanced and a nice contrast to the cheese, and quality toppings that weren't too much or too little. Was very tempted by the cannoli in the case, but I will leave it to others to try as I was stuffed. Could be a great place but needs to tighten it up a bit. Would try again though if just for pizza and to try that cannoli.”

“Not only is LKP one of Springfield's finest dining experiences, Aurora and Jordan have created a welcoming space for all communities to gather, celebrate, and build community. In addition to offering a one of a kind dining experience, they are generous partners to our community.”

“I never believed my life will change in such a manner. I saw a review on Facebook about Mrs Craig Vanessa trading skills and before then I have never risk money doing anything online with anybody because I think I was so wise and never want to be cheated but when I contacted Mrs. Craig Vanessa, she explained everything to me concerning trading and the profit I can make within a week I was convinced to give a trial and risked to invest $1,000 and I made a withdrawal profit of $9,000 within a week. I am so happy that I trusted her and she didn't fail me. You can reach her through WhatsApp via her Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa”

“This place never disappoints! Excellent food as usual. The crystal noodles dish was fabulous 👌 and their curry is always amazing! Wait staff can be a little rushed in trying to turn tables. Or maybe we were talking too long and they were closing soon? Either way, we went out for dinner to catch up with friends, not just to eat.”

“Amazing food!! We love it here. And they’re always so kind and quick! I recommend it to everyone!”

“I enjoyed Hawaiian BBQ combo it was pretty good but meats looked like they never clean grill. Big chuck of burnt parts layets stuck onto my meats. It wasn't pleasure to remove them before I had my meal. I will try something else next time though.”

“The Ahi Tuna is absolutely amazing!!! Prepared perfectly and so wonderful!!! Best in town for sure!!!”

“I needed something more than simple sustenance. Shall I go to Texas Roadhouse, Cracker Barrel, or where?

I decided on ole reliable Olive Garden as I wanted a salad and something more but not break my pocketbook.

I knew a couple of my favorites are always available but took a chance on Steak Gargonzola Alfredo. While I'm not a blue cheese fan, and the wonderful waitress (Katy?) cautioned me that it is a strong blue cheese, I decided to try something different. You only go around once in life...

Started out with the salad and extra dressing, and of course, bread sticks with butter on the side. Lately I do drink water with a lot of lemon, and she didn't disappoint.

Then came the main event. As I like to sample things and get a taste of it all, I cut up the steak bites into smaller pieces so I would have a price of meat with each batch of Alfredo, and...

It WAS VERY GOOD!

Great service.

Plenty of salad and bread sticks.

Water refilled before I ran out.

And, the entrée was excellent.

In the future I would suggest a tad more Alfredo sauce and a little more spinach BUT I am stuffed, satisfied and relaxed.

Thank you Kate and crew.”

“Great service. Very sweet waitress and great food. Will return.”

“We have coming to this fabulous restaurant for many years. Not only for the wonderful meals and service, but for the cherry cheesecake and my wife's favorite, custard pie!”

“I ordered off doordash- not a scam. I got the plant based chicken. I've been vegetarian for years & this is probably the best plant based chicken I've ever had. The fries and sauce were also good.

Vegetarian options: Morning-star”

“We stopped in tonight after WWE wrestling event and there was one sever. She was amazing! The food was exceptional and they were really busy but that didnt stop her from being exceptional. Thank you for not folding under pressure.”

“I just went through the drive thru on August 3 at midnight and got THE BEST Frisco burger I've ever had from Hardee's. Employees were super friendly too.”

“I have always had fresh food from this particular location without the dreaded 'can you please pull around to the front, we just dropped fresh fries/nuggets for you!' Ughhh the WORST!”

“Highly recommend this place. We had about an hour wait because of course they are short staffed, who isnt... They had a party of 12 walk in right before us, with only 1 cook. they done their best to make it fast to seat us, and others. Usally we wouldn't wait that long, but all the staff was extremely friendly and working hard to please all customers. 1 young waitress cause she didn't have a sitter and had to bring her little boy to work with her... But SHE WAS THERE! working her butt off. we told her to put him with us, we played with him until the grandma cane to pick him up. The whole team worked together great. they were all young. my husband and I sat there and enjoyed our meal, while watching this young crew admiring them all for their dedication to try their best to do what they had to do to please their customers and provide for their families. kudos to this IHOP, for a job well done today. September 5th, 2022..”

“I went in this morning and had a great breakfast! I misunderstood an ad about them having B&G all day when it wasn't supposed to be until 10, but someone from the kitchen came up and said she'd make it for me anyway! The gravy was SO good, I ate it up quick!! Got a chai latte too and it was delicious as well. Such great customer service and just a cute place.

House-made cheese sauce and burger patties,”

“The crew here is amazing. The young men are always friendly and quick to say hello. My son and I come almost every week and it does not disappoint. Our order is always correct and yummy.

Kid-friendliness: My son loves the garlic monkey bread and the employees are always so nice to him.”

“My kids and I stopped in here Tuesday after my son’s diabetic appointment. There was no carb information so I asked the waitress if there was any chance I could get that since my son is Type 1 diabetic. Without hesitation, she went back and spoke with the cook and manager. We had the carb information we needed and had 0 issues ordering. Our waitress was an absolute sweetheart. The manager even came and went over the carb information with us. Thank you for helping ease this mommas mind. Something as simple as ordering a meal can be tricky for a child with type 1. And you didn’t snub us or treat us any differntly. Sadly, that does tend to happen a lot when asking that simple of a question. Our food was amazing and so was the service. We will most definitely be back!”

However, when I checked my bank statement I seen the waitress tacked on an extra $4 tip for herself After we left her a $20 tip in cash on a $65.69 tab. I always write cash in the tip area of the receipt for this reason but she still did it! So watch your receipts, they have at least one dishonest waitress!!”

“Someone said the comedy show was racist.. YET they used the term circus.. which is Diabolical and kinda racist… Do circuses not entertain… As a black woman I am A LOT of things… loving… caring… unprotected AND educated… ABSOLUTELY AND UNAPOLOGETICALLY… racist Not even a lil!!!

Racism was at the core of North American slavery and the colonization and empire-building activities of western Europeans.
The notion of biological race has been recognized as a cultural invention, entirely without scientific basis.
Racism involves one group having the power to carry out systematic discrimination through the institutional policies and practices of the society.”

“I had a host of family come visit from out of town. I ordered 50 piece wings from California Kitchen, it came with fries and 2 cans of pop. I was told 15 minutes for pick up and did not check the food prior to leaving. The chicken was fried very hard and wasn't good. I didn't call until the next morning and spoke to a manager. The manager was pleasant and very understanding. I was able to bring back the chicken from the previous day and recieved a full new 50 piece meal for my visiting family. He even asked if I wanted to keep the order that was messed up. Amazing customer service and the food was really good. I would always order from them, they really know how to treat their customers!! The new location is great too!.”
